In September 2004 I finished a M.Sc. in the Database Group of
the Department of
Computer Science at the University of Toronto,
although most of my work was with the Machine Learning
Group. I started this M.Sc. in September 2002 under the
supervision of Anthony
Bonner. My master's thesis dealt with data mining and pattern recognition
in a particular case of datasets with very few positive samples. I worked on
a bioinformatics application: statistical
learning of gene annotations in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae.
From September 2003 to February 2005, I was also working in Hughes' Lab at the
Best Institute doing analysis and processing of biological data. My main activities
were database development, statistical analysis, and software development.

Statistical techniques, software development for custom arrays.
- Design of 60-mer oligonucleotides for whole-genome analysis of Fugu Rubripes, Tetraodon, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mus musculus, Gallus gallus and Xenopus tropicalis.
- Building a non redundant list of all known and predicted Mouse genes.
Work done in common with Mark Robinson.
Involves querying MGI, GenBank, RefSeq, Novartis, EnsEMBL, UniGene, GeneID etc. and mapping
all hits to the Mouse chromosomes (Build 32) to detect redundancy.
